No Naruto character can come near Itachi’s deep thinking, loyalty, judgment, and self-reliance. Initially, audiences viewed Itachi Uchiha as a threat and hoped to get killed by his younger brother, Sasuke. However, the sudden plot twist changes everyone’s perspective of him and takes him to the top of the popularity poll. Despite not getting enough screen time, he achieved such incredible feats that are still talked about by the fans.
From slaughtering an entire clan to defeating one of the Legendary Sannins, Itachi is one of the most gifted shinobi, and his feats throughout the series are a testament to that. Here is the ranking of his five feats of power in the series, showcasing his shinobi skills and impact on the show.
Defeating Orochimaru
Having one of the most lethal weapons in the series, Itachi Uchiha can make even the strongest shinobi crumble in fear of death. Anyone who dares to make direct eye contact with Itachi’s Sharingan puts themselves at risk of getting trapped in a world of illusion.
While attempting to take over Itachi’s body, Orochimaru finds himself trapped inside Itachi’s paralysis genjutsu and loses his left arm. Watching one of the strongest and the antagonist of the first crumble in the fear of death is worth watching. His battle against the Legendary Sannin doesn’t last for long.
Kakashi Hatake Vs Itachi Uchiha
He has one of the most formidable Mangekyō Sharingan dōjutsu in the Naruto universe. And it was famously known as Tsukuyomi. By using this technique, Itachi can trap anyone in a “Spiritual World” in which they feel time moving much faster than usual, making them believe they are being tortured for a long time.
Despite having a Mangekyō Sharingan, Kakashi Hatake finds himself trapped in Itachi Tsukuyomi and tortured for three days (in the real world, 72 hours). Thanks to Might Guy, who came on time and saved Kakashi from further torture. However, the impact was already done, as Kakashi was out of the mission for long.
Uchiha Massacre
Itachi Uchiha showed his loyalty to the Village Hidden in the Leaves by eliminating the entire clan. He even killed his parents, put his little brother in Tsukuyomi, and made him watch the death of his parents again and again for a long time.
With all these horrible deeds, his name came into the bingo book of most wanted criminals. Despite all these, no one was able to capture him. It is enough to demonstrate Itachi’s true potential as a shinobi. He was considered undefeated by the fans.
Itachi Uchiha Break Free From Kabuto Reanimation Jujutsu
With his jujutsu, Kabuto forces reanimated Itachi and Nagato to fight with Naruto and Killer Bee. Even after the reanimated begins, Itachi gives a fair fight to Naruto and Killer Bee. However, after understanding the situation, he unleashed the ultimate Mangekyo Sharingan, Kotoamatsukami (Shisui Uchiha), an ultimate genjutsu, to break himself from Kabuto reanimation.
After breaking from the reanimation, Itachi helps Naruto and Killer Bee to defeat Nagato. He even trappedkabuto in eternal genjutsu and undone reanimation jutsu earning praise from Madara Uchiha.
Break Itachi Free Of Jiraya Summoning: Toad Mouth Bind
While trying to capture Naruto, Itachi and Kisame encounter Jiraiya, one of the Great Sannin. Attempting to prevent further damage, Jiraiya summons the Toad Mouth Bind to entrap Itachi and Kisame inside. However, Itachi uses Amaterasu to burn Toad’s stomach. Itachi became the first one to survive the summoning.
If not for Jiraiya, Itachi, and Kisame would have easily captured Naruto, just as they did with Son Goku.
